Instructions

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water with the sugar and leave for 5 minutes until it foams slightly.
Add the flour and salt, then knead for 8 minutes until you have a smooth, supple dough.
Let the dough rise covered with a tea towel for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 30 x 20 cm, then spread 125 g of softened butter over it, leaving a border at the edges.
Fold the dough in three like a letter, turn it a quarter turn, roll it out again and fold a second time, then rest it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Roll the dough to 1 cm thick and cut out discs about 5 cm across with a cutter or a glass.
Place the discs on a tray lined with baking paper, spaced apart, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Brush them with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame if you like, then bake at 200 °C for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
